Sam let the first batch of products out from his new base.

The first batch of grenades of various grades, ones that could hurt a Grand realm cultivator to the ones that could hurt a Pre-transcendent stage cultivator.

So, he went to the person in charge of the biscuit factory and told him to send the message to the military unit.

Currently, the factory is run by the reserve members of the military and since this one-star military unit is a special unit, they created a smaller base here where they would train their new recruits while operating the factory.

They have special permissions for all of that. Anyway, this is beneficial for Sam as he doesn't have to worry about not able to contact these people.

After two days, the same human who made deals with Sam came back and this time the elf who stood behind didn't even dare to make eye contact with Sam.

Sam didn't even look at him, he just went on with the deal as if nothing happened, he gave a demonstration of the grenades in a confined formation in which the effects will not be spread out and that includes the visuals, sounds, and the damage.

After seeing the demonstration, the military guy was eager to buy the design and manufacturing method, but Sam just smiled and replied.

"I can't sell you that immediately, anyway, you wouldn't be able to make them. If you really forge it normally, you would only be able to make three to four of them in a day.

You need a lot of ingredients and machines that only I can make. I can show you some assembly processes. If you really can make that happen without the use of the machines, I can sell the design to you."

After that, he took them on a factory tour. He already created a small methane generating tank in the rear of the base as he is not exactly focused on large-scale production, he showed them that, and a small pasture was created at the rear of the base beside the methane tank which held the fire type beasts that supply the dung.

But he didn't explain what the process of methane collection is, they just got a small glimpse of it.

After that, he gave a faint introduction to the assembly zone.

Currently, there are only around a hundred grenades per day and he is mainly focused on training.

The human who is called Rogan, a company commander of the One-star military unit was surprised and thoughtful at the same time.

The machines are making the assembly easy and the people that need to make them don't even have to be of high level and even their elemental affinities don't matter.

Since Sam is not focusing on high productivity they are not using the assembly line to the full potential.

"Is it possible to buy the machines, design, just everything that is needed to make these things?"

"It is actually, but you should know the price of that wouldn't be small. You would have to be willing to pay a lot. In fact, this might even be the priciest purchase you ever made."

"Give me a price estimate."

"One assembly line, one production line, you can hire the trained professionals from here and make them train your own workers, or you can temporarily make them train your own workers and they will come back to me, the whole set up required for making the ingredients. All of it combined will go for three billion."

"Three Billion? Are you insane? That's a lot of money."

"Of course it is, but there is a price to pay for the exclusivity. If I had to sell the same setup for a few people I might do it for 1.5 or 2. But since you want it all for yourself I have to increase the price. Anyway, you even bought the biscuits for such a high price, I would say I am even giving it to you cheaply."

"I need some time."

"Please do. Do you still want the grenades now?"

"Sure, how much?"

"Just take it as a complimentary gift for our deal."

With that, Sam sent a few hundred grenades off with Rogan and let him make a decision.

Then he went to meet Raunak.

But he couldn't find him in the office and he was told by one of his employees that he went to the city early morning and didn't come back.

Sam didn't think much of it and left.

Meanwhile, Raunak is also having a meeting.

But he is not as confident or happy as Sam in this meeting.

He is currently sitting in front of another elf within a restaurant. He is extremely uncomfortable as if he wanted to get out of this place.

"Why are you here?" He asked the elf who is sipping the rice wine with a relaxed expression as if he is there on a vacation.

"This rice wine is extremely good. Faction 2 did one thing right by holding down the liquor business. Our faction is really not suitable for this."

"If you are here for the wine, you shouldn't have called for me. I am a busy person. I don't have a rich and powerful father holding my ass up to make me sit in a position. I have to earn it by myself."

The Elf didn't seem to be offended by hostile words and the tone of resentment and instead widened the smile.

"What do you mean by that? You don't have time for an old friend?"

"Old Friend? I am pretty sure that friendship died when someone tried to kill me in the roads of the Charbhum Capital city."

"Well, you can't blame that someone when you hooked up with his sister, Can you?"

"But you should know that certain someone didn't become my friend before I loved his sister, he became my friend after my love with her and he came to me after learning about that.

And he did so for the sole reason to drag me to the roads and kill me which was unsuccessful because he didn't expect such resistance from someone who he looked down on so much."

"Well, I didn't know that you know about that. My sister is still such a snitch."

"I would be careful, if were you. This not your father's backyard. Things are not looking good for faction 1 here. In fact, there are extremely bad."

"You seemed to have forgotten, this place is still under faction 1's control, so this is as good as my father's backyard."

"Just cut the crap and tell me what you are here for. I wasted enough time on you."

"Well, do you want to marry my sister?"

"Isn't that a given? Where are you going with this?"

"Well, my father is so adamant about not letting you marry and he is trying to get by your contract so much that it is almost impossible for him to not succeed."

Raunak clenched his fists and said.

"I should have expected that from your father."

"Well, you should have. Anyway, even though your growth speed is higher, you still have half of your current target to get by, so it would still take around a month of two for you to succeed. But before that, my father will succeed."

"We will see about that. But that didn't answer why you are here."

"Well, I heard that you have found a new treasure trove in the form of a human and using him to climb the ranks. What's his name again?"

"Sam?"

"Yeah, Sam. That guy. I heard he has some really good things in his hands and you two seem pretty close."

"Where are you going with this?"

"I will stop my father and buy you some time if you get me something from him."

"Something what?"

"A design? A recipe? A thing that could make a shit load of money for me. If you can get that, I will help you and stop my father for a couple of months. And in that time you can surely get promoted."

"If you really want some business opportunity, you could ask him directly. I don't meddle in his business deals."

"Well, I am also not asking you to meddle in the deal. In fact, it is not a deal at all. I want something for free without paying anything. You know like a gift from you to me."

*SLAM* *CRASH*

Raunak stood and slammed his hand on the desk, destroying it into smithereens.

"How dare you? Do you really think that I am your servant that does everything you say?"

But the elf didn't show a single change in his expression.

"You are still as fiery as you were before. You might not be as weak as I think but that doesn't mean you are good enough. As for the servant thing? You are not that much different to me, at least for now until you really married my sister.

Until then, you are just a small-time official, who is trying to get together with my sister. So, if you really want to get together with my sister, you don't have a choice. You have to give me what I want. After all, you do know how capable my father is. He is extremely efficient and I am sure he will send her away easily without my intervention.

You have to make a decision."
